Though it hasn’t stopped this very optimistic asking price for the worst GB I’ve ever seen: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/116043733370?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=YErWQafZQtC&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=9G0TgC0oTh6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Late to the weird orange fibres party but could these in fact be the hairs of the hapless cow/horse that became this jacket? Someone more knowledgeable about leather can weigh in on whether the hair follicles are included in the layers used to make leather but given that we can see the pores in...
Catch and release because I refuse to learn that I don’t like mandarin collars once they’re on me. Maybe I have a long neck?
A good weight hide on this jacket (heavier than all my Schotts at around 5lbs), which is cut for a more athletic 36 than me (bigger shoulders, smaller tummy). An early...
Yeah really delighted with it. Not sure my other Schotts will get much of a look in now (except possibly my very heavy 94 618).
While I’m here, can anyone shed any light on this particular riddle? Jacket seen on eBay but it’s the label, specifically the region of manufacture, that I’m curious...
Having found my forever 125 it’s time to thin the Schott/beck herd. This is a great 618 with advantages of both the 70s (no footballs, unbranded snaps) and 80s (no pleather), though it runs smaller than my 90s version. Some slight fading and the ghost of a Harley tramp stamp!
£195 plus shipping...
Might be a non starter for the forum given the size but before I try eBay! Note it is very long for a 34. £250 plus shipping.
Measurements:
Chest 49/19.25
Shoulders 41/16
Hem 44/17.25
Length 63/25
Drop -1/0.25
Sleeves 59/23.25
Think I just found my forever Schott, a 125 in great condition (though sadly minus the zip out liner), roughly the same vintage as me and enough room to move while still looking quite trim. If I could find a Cal type X-zip that fit this well I think I could get rid of everything else and never...
Not terribly vintage, but just took delivery of a fantastic 125 with the hang tag still in the pocket and wondering if anyone (@jeo !) might be able to help narrow down the date beyond ‘85-93.
The clues:
Branded snaps
Branded lining
YKK main zipper
Ideal sleeve zippers
Blacked out football...
